Ant Control

Atlanta Ant Control

Although we face many different species of ants in Georgia, the predominant species of ant remains the Argentine. From Brazil to the ports of New Orleans these pests have spread across the country, but for some reason love to call Georgia home sweet home. This small ant can have multiple queens and ranges in color from a gold/yellow to dark brown almost black. It primarily feeds on sweets but can feed on other food sources as well.

Argentine Ants

The most common invasive ant in metro Atlanta is known as the Argentine ant. These are most likely the little guys you see in the corner of your cabinets or along the baseboard in your bedroom. The colony will usually form a line between their nest and a source of food or water they may have discovered. Often the infestation is due to the colony seeking to escape conditions such as flooding of their nest, or excessive heat, rather than what people might commonly assume to be an attraction to a messy environment.

Carpenter Ants

The carpenter ant is one of the most widespread ants found in Georgia. Identified by how large they are, as well as their coloring (black with yellow abdominal region hairs), carpenter ants ar known for chewing through wood, hence their name. They can becaome quite a nuisance in your home or business. Pacific Pest Solutions is here around the clock to tackle any and carpenter ant problems facing your home or business.

Fire Ants

The red, fire ant (many species in this category, such as Solenopsis xyloni, one of over 285) well-known in Georgia for its painful sting and for building large, reddish, mounds. Fire ants are extremely active during the day and at night when they search for food and defend the colony's nesting mound aggressively. While fire ants usually keep nests outside and only enter homes to search for food or water (during the summer), they have been known to establish nests inside homes. During dry seasons or after floods fire ants will relocate and build nests inside the walls of the nearest house or behind any large appliance.

In the areas of metro Atlanta, Athens, Suwanee, Cumming, Dunwoody, Alpharetta, Douglasville and other North Georgia cities fire ants can be a painful experience for many homeowners.
